As It Is - The Great Depression lyrics

Hello consumer
I know you're there
So let me sing you this new
Dose of lies we've carefully prepared
Hello consumer
Just close your eyes
And listen close enough and this song
Might just save your fucking life

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die
To stop you giving in
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna
Hear cause we're so insecure

You think you know me
When I feel down
Another song's another reason I'll just
Leave you here to drown
Call me dishonest
Call me a fraud
But you've been singing that for years and
That's what got us where we are

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die
To stop you giving in
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna
Hear cause we're so insecure
(We're so insecure)

Hello consumer
Just close your eyes
Listen close enough and this song might
Just save your fucking life

We live in the Great Depression
This is how we sell our lies

I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the blade and I'm the stitch
We tell you it's okay to die
Cause we don't give a shit
I'm the poet and the problem
I'm the sickness and the cure
We tell you what you wanna
Hear cause we're so insecure

(We're so insecure)
You think you know me
